Other players on our roster that could fill his position:
-D.J. Williams (already spends a lot of time in the backfield lined up/motioned as an H back)
-Ryan Taylor (already has two credited starts at FB this year)
-Tom Crabtree (free agent, also motioned as an H back)

Side note: How was Kuhn not credited with a single start in 2010? That was his best year by far _________________

Kuhn will be back, not worried about this at all either way. Go contemplate in your Madden world what the Pack would do with his roster spot if they cut him all you want, but Kuhn will be back next year in Realville.

How in the world is he worth that kind of money?? I have never been a fan of his, surely we can find somebody else to get stuffed on those 3rd& short carries Kuhn never coverts. I am not a DJ Williams fan but he should be able to do what Kuhn does and he is much more athletic._________________

Tis what I'm saying. I would rather have Williams back there to block (nobody is scared of Kuhn's running ability and he only really gets it short yardage) and have him mold into the Hback role instead of pure TE. He's on his way at this point. Got to imagine that he's in the backfield more than Kuhn already._________________

I think his advantage is that he can run the ball. I would bet he is better at it than any of the TEs on the roster. He gives us a FB, STer and an emergency RB should it come to that. I think he finishes out that deal unless we bring in an UDFA that wins the job. Even then I doubt he gets cut. You can't simply release every minor bad contract. Agents and players will take note._________________GO PACK GO!

agreed.

He's Rodgers' most trusted blitz pick up guy. Rodgers stated he is the most well-versed guy on the playbook (other than Rodgers I'm sure).

When Benson was starting, I noticed that the Packers were using a lot of single-back sets, and I had pondered Kuhn's future with the team when it appeared that he was being neglected. I'm not sure if that's because Benson is more effective being the lone back or anything else, but that's when the question of his future first came about. Add that to how he's very limited offensively and other teams know what the Packers are going to do when he's lined up with Rodgers in the shotgun, and I don't see why he should be back in 2013._________________Fuzzy Slippers tells no lies.

So with Woodson gone Kuhn is now the 2nd oldest player on the team...just saying_________________

I kinda of retract my previous statement. Still feel he is the most trusted blocker in the backfield, but his salary is a 'tad' high. Not outrageous, but an area where we could save money potentially. Certainly don't want to sign him for anything more than that going forward.

Might be a candidate for an extension with more guaranteed but less cap hit going forward.

Do we even really need a FB when we have TEs in the backfield blocking as well as Kuhn? Ryan Taylor, DJ Williams, or Tom Crabtree can all do what he's doing, eliminating his contract and a roster spot. Is Kuhn's running threat worth his contract and roster spot?_________________

Until someone on the roster shows that they can handle blitz-pickup as well as Kuhn, orthe Packers acquire somebody who can do it as well (or better) as Kuhn for cheaper, then Kuhn's worth his salary just for the third down gig.

I kind of hope that Alex Green can grow into that spot, but right now keeping QB1 upright is a priority and nobody hits the QB harder than inside blitzers, so you shouldn't blink at paying $2-3m to your blitz pickup guy.
